heh!
If a synth is mono then theres no need for more than one channel, right? If a synth is stereo you'd just plug it in over 2 strips and turn them up to the same volume as its L/R, it'll be panned in its respected way already or at least have a stereo field to deal with, you shouldn't have to hard pan.
Technically, its a 8 track mono mixer / 4 track stereo.

Why do you want hardware?
Unless you're touring - buy for tone rather than function. Digital synths will sound identical to your software without being any more accessible. Soft-synths will also be easier / move convenient than hardware for boshing out quick sounds.
If you want one for the sound then you need analog circuitry. A pure analog poly-synth will set you back over a grand, for mono there's the MiniBrute at about £400.
A decent compromise would be a hybrid synth that uses both digital and analog circuitry.
You can get a used Akai AX-80 or ESQ-1 for £200-300, both weigh a tonne but sound gritty as fuck. They're Digital VCOs with analog filters. Dave Smith Instruments also sell some interesting gear.
